Needed some cheap acrylic paint for a project and found some at Walmart. Stuff comes in 2 oz. squeeze bottles and is stocked in the crafts section. Wasn't expecting much from it for $2 a bottle but it has turned out to be pretty good. Maybe not on a par with the high end paints but good. Works very well on wood and isn't bad on metal. Only problem I have had with it is it a bit soft and needs a gentle touch when sanding. However after coating with a clear finish no problems. Brand is "Plaid". Not going to find many "marine" colors lots bright colors and metallics

My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
